To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J.

Letter' Athe supply-pipe or end of Worm as it enters the inclosed vessel; letter B, the Washer, designed to keep the glass front free from vapor 5 letter C, the hydrometcr to test the proof; letter D, the thermometer to give the temperature; letter E, the high and low wine faucets, one of which is to be connected with the high-winepipe, the other to the low wine pipe, which pipes enter into th eirrespcctive tanks 5 let-ter F, the glass front, giving a view at all times of the hydrometer, thermometer, and liquor inelosed in the described vessel.
